Early Access Patch 034: The None More Black Patch – 3rd February 2021

The headliner of this patch is our implementation of the weather system! We want to bring more vitality to the world of Pentum and weather is one way to do that. We plan to have Blizzards, Sandstorms and Earthquakes in next patch, with Solar Flares and Meteor Strikes in for now.

Gameplay
Weather Anomalies – These weather effects whip across the surface of Pentum with short warning! Meteor Strikes cause damage on impact and Solar Flares cause damage to any units not under a facility shield. Meteor Strikes can occur on any map and Solar Flares can only occur on Desert, Rocky and Volcano biomes.

UI
Weather Anomalies – Hostile weather can be detected 30 seconds before it hits, and warnings will flash both across the screen and in the game log. The game log will also give further warnings 20 and 10 seconds before impact, as well as the expected length of the weather once it hits.

Fixed
Some graphical issues with Sabotage
Issues with Parry not having a cooldown on client, and Sat View not showing projectiles after Parrying
An issue Last Hope’s cooldown timer not being accurate
Multiple minor issues with the Scramble ability
An issue with Cluster Bombs being named by it’s old, obsolete name at Level 1
An issue with Targeting Beacon that forced enemy (!) units to fire if in range of the ability
An issue with Prophet’s Eye Level 3 not working at all
